About This Quiz

Do you know what was great about '80s music?  Everything.  It was a heck of a decade.  "99 Red Balloons" and "Blame it on the Rain."  New Kids on the Block and Fine Young Cannibals. The powerhouse that is Rick Astley. Oh, it was a legendary time.  Some might even say mythological.  See what we did there?  Yeah, you see what we did.

When you dig deep into mythology you find a lot of interesting and diverse creatures, and in much the same way the '80s were chock-full of interesting and diverse pop songs. You can see how this is starting to come together.
